Work at Home Equipment Requirements

Introduction

As a Qualfon work from home remote employee, you will work with some of the world’s best brands to support customers with billing inquiries, account or product questions, service orders, troubleshooting and more – via phone, email, chat.

We do have a few steps and minimum requirements like passing our Initial Systems Diagnostic (fun term for checking if “your computer equipment is compatible with our requirements”). Please take the below diagnostic to ensure your internet meets our business needs. If you find that you’re not compatible at any time during the tech checks, we are here to help you find ways to become compatible with our system.

Internet connectivity is very important, please take the connection diagnostic to ensure your internet meets our requirements for voice calls.


Please note 

If you do not pass the internet diagnostic above, please take these simple steps:

Please make sure you are not on Wifi, Hot Spot, Dial-up or Broadband wireless which include Satellite, 3G, 4G, 5G, LTE (Cellular)

You may want to try again while having your computer hardwired via an ethernet cable to your router

Please ensure that no one else in your home is using the internet during this diagnostic 

You may want to contact your Internet Service Provider to ensure you receive your full high-speed bandwidth and then test again
